Abstract (en)
A controller sets an order condition requiring that one of a latest index value and a current timing reach corresponding one of a reference index value and a reference timing. The order condition is set so that a first cartridge is delivered to a predetermined destination at a first timing. The first cartridge is expected to be out of a printing agent while a first tank is expected to still accommodate the printing agent at the first timing. The controller transmits, in response to determining that a second cartridge is expected to be out of a printing agent while a second tank is expected to still accommodate the printing agent at the first timing, an order command instructing to order the first cartridge and the second cartridge to a relevant device after the order condition is satisfied.
